Bristol Hospice is recruiting Veterans for our Veteran-to-Veteran program volunteer program. Veterans who serve our nation are deeply deserving of honor and respect. Veterans have a unique shared experience and culture, and this becomes even more important near the end of life.

Our Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer program can provide support with the following activities:

  • Assist Veterans in reminiscing and sharing life stories by connecting them with fellow veterans from the community.
  • Assist patients in receiving Veteran Benefits.
  • Take part in honoring Veterans for their military service.
  • Assist Veterans in replacing lost awards and decorations.

Veteran hospice volunteers are a valuable resource for other veterans as the share similar experiences, common military terminology, and a military bond.

Volunteers receive mileage reimbursement for patient visits.

Combined with a compassionate support system, hospice helps to reduce the overwhelming stress and anxiety that can come along with caring for a loved one with a life limiting illness.
